Windows Live Mail FAQ
Before I found out that the aliases were available, I created a few outlook.com accounts (and linked them).
Can I now merge these accounts with my primary account as aliases? I cannot add an existing outlook.com account as alias - is there a way to do this?
Hello,
I'm using domains.live.com for quite some time with my custom domain. As I used to be a Gmail user (via Google Apps), I had the "enable e-mail" settings disabled.
About 2 years ago, as a user, I clicked in my "Live Account" that I want to use Hotmail. It created my inbox etc. and I occasionally used it. Since Outlook.com was released, I switched to it from Gmail.
Since my custom domain was also used by my dad on Gmail, I had my mail forwarded from Gmail to Outlook.com so I don't have to bother my dad with switching until the Outlook.com gains features my father requires.
Recently, I switched my father to Outlook.com too. Now all e-mail is received by Gmail with my custom domain address and sent to our Outlook.com mailboxes.
I would like to change the settings so the MX entries in my custom domain points to Outlook.com directly and the Gmail/Google doesn't stick it's nose to my mail.
So I went to domains.live.com to get the proper MX settings for my Outlook.com and found some issues:
1) domains.live.com says that I have no mail service enabled (which is not true, since I'm using it daily)
2) It says, if I enable it, all mailboxes of all accounts will be deleted including content (that, obviously, I don't want)
3) Because it thinks I have "no mail service enabled". it will not show me proper MX records for my custom domain
4) If I enter <my-token-number>.mail.outlook.com as the MX record, all mail sent to my custom domain gets refused with "550 5.4.1 Relay Access Denied" error.
Can please someone from MS look at my domains.live.com settings and fix it without deleting any content so I can send and receive to and from Outlook.com with custom domain directly without the need to go throw Google?
Dear All,
My Domain is www.tnomnibus.com, I am trying to configure POP3 & SMTP using outlook as I was trying to configure the email through outlook, My incoming pop3 settings have been accepted and
logged in., but while it goes for SMTP asking for the password for any accounts created in this domain. We need the password reset options also for this domain. We only can configure POP3 & SMTP settings for the server which we have now.
Incoming Mail Server Working fine :
Incoming Server (POP3 Server) : pop3.live.com
Incoming Server POP Port : 995
Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption : Yes
Outgoing Server (SMTP Server) : smtp.live.com
Outgoing Server SMTP Port : 25,587
Outgoing Server Authentication : Yes
Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection : Yes
“Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” check box not selected too.
Error Message on Outlook :
Send test e-mail message: The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
Error Message on eM Client :
An email server was detected, however your credentials were rejected. Do you want to try again using different password or username?
* Checked the same with ISP Provider also nothing blocked, While my Google account works on this port perfectly too.

How long do I have to wait to get acces to my account? I have been forced to get a code through my mobile but even with this code I cant open my account yet!
Can someone advice me? Thanks
Since the update to the last version (17.0.2015.811) was applied I keep getting this error. Never saw this before that. I also tried to do a clean reinstall, the same. It appears 2-3 times before I login. After that it works OK.
The problem is that even if I install the older version the update is applied automatically. What can be done?
Thanks.
